UNSC Infinity

Amity was in a training room, facing the drones inside. She used her staff to summon slime that she could telekinetically pull and weave through the air. She covered a drone in it, pulling at its limbs to move it to attack the others. She dove towards it, pulling the slime out of the drone which fell as wiring was pulled out of it as well. She held up a shield from coming strikes and exploded the slime outward throwing them against the wall. She panted, exhausted from the effort.

Marcy entered as the room shut off. She said, "Hey Amity. Uhh how you holding up?"

Marcy was taken aback by the damage around her. Amity said, "I'm fine. I just...need to get stronger."

Marcy said, "You've been hitting these training rooms every day. You gotta give yourself a break!"

Amity yelled, "I can't take a break! If I was stronger, I wouldn't have been hurt. I could've stopped them. I could've saved her!"

Marcy grabbed Amity by the shoulders, shaking her while shouting, "Caaaaaaaaaaalm dowwwwwn!"

"Wha?", Amity said, still somewhat dazed. Marcy released her grip and stepped back as she said, "There's nothing we could've done. Kratos was a GOD, and he died fighting them (until he came back with those imps but that's besides the point). You can't keep working yourself to the bone. There's nothing you could've done."

Amity slumped onto the floor. Amity said, "I know...But even then, I still need to get stronger. Not just for Luz, but for everyone Oryx is hurting."

Marcy knelt down and said, "Yeah. I get that. Just give yourself a break once in a while. It's not the end of the world if you let yourself breathe. Besides, you can't be an exhausted mess when we get your girlfriend back."

Amity chuckled and said, "Thanks Marcy. Well I'm starving. Do you wanna see what Sanji's cooking up?"

Marcy said, "Nah I'm good. I was actually about to get that nice big gem lady to build me a wrist-mounted crossbow! Ranger gear, the whole shebang!"

Amity said, "Huh...maybe I'll join you. New gear paired with magic wouldn't hurt. I'll get something to eat after."

Engineering Room

A young caucasian woman with blond hair wearing a tank top and baggy cargo pants with brown boots was standing with a heavily built tall woman with grey skin and rainbow hair. The tall woman was dressed in a black leather apron and had a bismuth gemstone in her chest.

The young blond woman was named Winry and the tall one was named Bismuth.

They were in an iron forge, with a smelting pit. Winry was at a small table working on smaller pieces of machinery, while Bismuth, with her hand formed into a hammer, was pounding away at superheated metal, shaping it into a knife.

In the back was a man in a heavy metallic yellow suit. He wore a helmet with three glowing slits that allowed him to see. This was Isaac Clarke. He was with Peridot, a small green gem humanoid (similar to Garnet and Bismuth) with triangular hair, yellow tinted glasses and a black/green jumpsuit.

The two were next to a massive man with a muscular body and blue hair. He had a striking metallic nose and wore a red shirt over his gigantic frame. His legs were small and dainty but his arms almost as big as his torso. This was Franky.

Altogether, Franky, Winry, Bismuth, Peridot, and Isaac formed the Engineering crew for the Infinity. Any gear they needed built or repairs the ship needed was their job.

These three were leaving the room. One of the generators on the Infinity was faulty so they were on the way to do some repairs, leaving only Winry and Bismuth.

Amity and Marcy walked past them in the hallway, arriving at an opening in the wall that lead right to that room.

It was adorned with all sorts of tools and replacement parts and material packages. The walls and floor were dirty and caked with oil and grease, but to the engineers that gave it charm.

Winry noticed Amity and Marcy and said, "Oh, Bismuth! We have guests!"

Bismuth yelled, "Just a sec! Almost done with this knife."

Winry sighed and said, "Sorry. I don't think I've ever met y'all before."

Marcy said, "I'm Marcy. She's Amity. We're new here."

Winry said, "Oh yeah...I'm really sorry about what happened to your girlfriend."

Amity said, "Thanks. Um...I was wondering if you guys here would be willing to make something for us?"

Winry said, "What do y'all need?"

Bismuth stomped in from behind and said, "Oh hey. Garnet was telling me about you two. Nice to meet you. We getting new requests?"

Marcy said, "Well not to brag but where I'm from I used to have a wrist mounted crossbow."

Amity said, "I guess just armor. Ooh and storage capsules for my abomination goo. The time I could save drawing the circles to summon it could make the difference in a fight."

Bismuth said, "You got it kids. We'll get on that right away. Might need Isaac's help for the storage capsules."

Marcy said, "Ok, now let's go grab lunch!"

Bismuth said, "Sanji's in a training room with Deku. Kitchen's closed, but they might have some good stuff still in the fridge."

Amity shrugged signaling to Marcy that that's fine. The two ran down the hallway while Bismuth got to work.

Boiling Isle

Luz had just landed before her former friends. She turned her head with a smile. Eda said, "Kid?...Oh my Titan..."

Luz stepped forward and said, "It's been so long. It's good to see you guys!"

"I feel that power radiating from here. It's not just corrupted...she's been enhanced somehow..." Raine said.

Luz said, "He's right! Courtesy of someone who might be even stronger than the Titan. I know I said I want to test my new powers, but we don't HAVE to fight. You guys can just join up with Oryx, the Taken King. Then we can all be super powerful soldiers and the architects of his will."

Eda shuddered. It sounded like Luz. It talked like Luz. It knew what Luz knew. But it wasn't Luz.

Willow said, "This...this isn't you."

Luz eyed her own body up and down. She said, "Well I don't look that much different, do I?"

Hunter said, "There has to be something that can break this curse. The Titan's magic can't be so easily twisted."

Luz said, "Like I said, Oryx is stronger than a Titan. And you can be too if you join up with us. Come on. After all, us weirdos have to stick together, right Eda?"

Eda shut out any thought of it being Luz, and cried out as she charged.

Luz shook her head and said, "Well I guess she's out."

Within a flash of light she was suddenly in front of Eda. She punched her fist upward, causing a rock formation to shoot up and strike Eda in the stomach, sending her through the air and crashing into a house.

Luz immediately flashed back down to the ground, her stance neutral and unchanged, as if she hadn't done anything. She said, "Well, what about the rest of you guys? Fight? Run? Surrender?"

Raine had an idea. They whispered, "On my signal, go back through the gate. Bring as much help as you can."

Hunter whispered back, "What signal?"

Raine smiled. "You'll know."

Raine summoned their charmed violin, flexing their fingers against the neck. They summoned the bow and said, "NOW!"

They played a note against the string. It was the same pitch and tone as Yshra's famed death song. But with Raine's magic it caused immense pain to Luz. She grabbed her head and fell to her knees as Willow and Hunter made for the exit.

Luz screamed out with her hands outstretched. Balls of energy began to form in her hands, swirling with purples and yellows flushed with the Titan's magic. She slammed them against the ground, letting off an explosion that sent Raine rocketing away, and sent Willow and Hunter hurtling through the gate.

Amphibia

A young pink frog humanoid, dressed in a green jacket with black pants and a floppy cap on his head with goggles, was awoken by screams and smoke. He burst out the top floor window of his home and saw fire razing his home and the village near him. He yelled out, "W-what's happening?"

His grandfather, an older orange frog with grey hair around his head and a green and yellow suit grabbed the young frog. He said in a deeply southern accent, "Sprig, we gotta go! Some one or thing is raining fire on us from up there."

Sprig narrowed his eyes in the direction of Hop Pop's finger. This figure was simply pure black and pure white with an aura around them that radiated like fire. But something seemed so...familiar about it. Another beam of energy fired out from this figure before it yelled out.

"All those who oppose Oryx will be dealt with! Surrender and you'll live as one of his servants!"

Sprig's eyes widened. He knew that voice anywhere.

"Hop Pop, it's Anne."

Hop Pop said, "Huh?"

Sprig said, "I know that voice anywhere. It's her...but why does she look like that?"

Hop Pop asked, "Anne...what is she doing?"

Hop Pop couldn't finish his question before Sprig was already charging off in Anne's direction. "ANNE!", Sprig shouted. Anne slowly turned her head to the voice. Her eyes lit up. She shouted, "Sprig?!" before flying into the ground. She bounced up and grabbed him, pulling him in for a warm embrace. Anne yelled out, "How long's it been?! Look how big you got!"

Sprig's eyebrow raised as he let go and jumped back. He said, "It's...really you. But...why do you look like...this?"

Anne gestured to herself and said, "Oh this? The greatest thing ever. I'm the Hand of Oryx now! That means that as long as I do what Oryx says we're gonna bring order to the universe!"

Sprig immediately clocked that something was wrong. Sprig said, "Does that include burning down our village?"

Anne replied, "Relax. Nobody got hurt. Gotta get their attention somehow."

Sprig said, "So...you didn't come back on your own? He made you come back here to...conquer us."

Anne said, "Sprig, don't make it sound callous. Of course I wanted to come see you. I had the choice between Amphibia or the Boiling Isles, and I chose you. And as long as nobody does anything dumb like try to fight me, you'll all be fine too. Just think about it. You and I side by side, taking the universe under Oryx. Spranne against the world, right?"

Sprig smiled and said, "Spranne...against the wo-...no no wait!"

Sprig shook his head and frowned. He gestured at the fires all around him and said, "This isn't what 'Spranne against the world' is about! You know that. The real Anne would know that."

Sprig brandished a wooden slingshot from his jacket, grabbing a pile of rocks and aiming it at Anne.

Anne tilted her head and said, "You don't want to do that..."

Sprig narrowed his eyes. Anne slowly approached Sprig, placing a gentle hand to the side of his head. She said, "You're so dumb...it's adorable." Sprig narrowed his eyes again in confusion.

Next thing he knew, a knee was flying into his stomach. A small shockwave exploded through him, leaving him winded. He hit the floor several feet away, holding his stomach in pain. Anne said, "Don't try and stop me again Sprig. Please."

Anne rocketed into the sky and flew off.

Infinity

Marcy and Amity were eating in Marcy's room together. Marcy said, "Soooooo...how did you and Luz even meet?"

Amity said, "I was...kind of her rival at Hexside, our old magic school. She didn't have magic powers like the rest of us and my friends and I, sadly, liked to tear into that. But she found a way...and it saved all of us."

Marcy asked, "Who was the first one to make a move?"

Amity said, "Uhhhhhh...I guess we kind of both did at the same time."

Marcy said, "Aw...it's like the most adorable Henry Popper fanfic ever!"

Amity blushed and said, "Now that I know about all this, there's so many date opportunities! I just have to keep my mind focused on that."

Amity stood and raised her fist into the air, shouting out, "Because I know we're gonna save them!"

Marcy laughed and said, "Where have you been all my life, Ms. Blight?"

Amity said, "What about you and Anne and Sasha? How did you guys meet?"

Marcy said, "We've been friends since we were kids. Anne and I met when we were three, and we met Sasha when we were in kindergarten. We got into all sorts of mischief, but...I don't think our friendship was really healthy. But that's why I'm so grateful for our adventure in Amphibia. I think it brought us closer together, and made us stronger as people."

A clanging sound hit the door multiple times. Marcy recognized it as knocking. She said, "Come in!"

Atreus walked in and said, "Sorry to disturb you, but you're gonna want to come see this."

Amity asked, "What happened, Atreus?"

Atreus said, "I think we found Anne and Luz..."
